In physics education, a number of studies have developed assessments of teachers' knowledge of student understanding (KSU) of specific physics concepts with modified versions of existing concept inventories, in which teachers were asked to predict the popular incorrect answers from students. The results provide useful but indirect information to…

Constant teacher training and up-dating is fundamental to provide quality teaching and learning. Digital competences are among the skills that teachers must acquire in order to improve the teaching and learning processes. The aim of the present study was to review the scientific production of the last five years regarding teacher digital…

Artificial intelligence (AI) provides new opportunities for K-12 English as foreign language (EFL) teachers to improve their teaching.

A growing number of studies are focusing on the effect of teachers' knowledge on their behavioral intention to use technology in teaching. This study aims to explore the influence of teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) on their behavioral intention to use technology by including their technology self-efficacy and attitude…

Technology integration into education is a significant development that has facilitated using digital resources in teaching mathematical culture (TMC). Despite the potential benefits, there are currently limited reports on factors influencing teachers' use of these resources for instructional purposes. Therefore, this study aims to determine the…

This research aimed to study the current situation of sustainable professional competencies for university lecturers in the digital era in Sichuan Province, provide guidelines for improving these competencies, and evaluate the adaptability and feasibility of the guidelines. The research sample comprised 375 university lecturers in Sichuan…

This study aimed to investigate the differences between pre-service teachers' (PSTs) perceived TPACK given the different clusters of their epistemic beliefs collected via a questionnaire. The responses gathered from 807 Chinese PSTs were utilised to elicit such a relationship. All of the participants responded to the Pre-service Teachers'…

This article provides robust empirical evidence for the association between science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and student achievement. Unlike previous studies, we employed two approaches (text-based vs. video-based tests) to assess if, and to what extent, teachers' PCK assessed by these two approaches are related to student…

This study aims to investigate gender and regional differences in technological pedagogical readiness (TPR) among primary mathematics teachers in China during the post-pandemic era. Utilizing a web-based questionnaire, data were collected from 601 teachers across six provinces, representing eastern and western regions. The TPR scale, encompassing…

This study investigated the development of the integration among EFL student-teachers' PCK components during a 16-week mentoring-enriched practicum course.
